During a break in the meeting, Wen Tianxiang went to the toilet. I heard the two Huai Zhizhou said excitedly: "Finally, it's our turn to develop the two Huai!" ”

Wen Tianxiang served as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture before going to Henan to be the prefect of Kaifeng. The cotton everywhere and the textile industry in Songjiang make the people of Songjiang live and work in peace and contentment, and the sales of cotton and cloth make the Songjiang area rich in the world. Listening to the accents of those two Huai Zhizhou, there are Jiangnan people. I think they are not only well aware of the great interests of cotton cloth and silkworms, but also a group of people who have already benefited from these trades.

Back at the venue, Wen Tianxiang felt a little lost in his heart. Songjiang's prosperity today is due to the Zhao official family's full efforts, and cotton classification has been specifically mentioned in the training of officials and cadres. Through training, Wen Tianxiang personally compared it before he understood the huge difference between Tianzhu short-staple cotton and Fusang cotton.

The lint of Tianzhu short-staple cotton is thick, and the length is less than 20 mm. There are two kinds of Fuso cotton, one has a high yield, and the cotton lint is finer than Tianzhu short-staple cotton, and the length is generally 30 mm. Although the output of Fuso long-staple cotton is not larger than that of Tianzhu short-staple cotton, the length of cotton wool can exceed 37 mm. The cloth made of Fuso cotton is a really good cloth, smooth and delicate, not only thin, but also very strong. Those silk and cotton blended fabrics, which absorb sweat and do not stick to the body when worn, have surpassed silk in popularity.

Listening to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry one by one, they will vigorously invest in cotton mulberry planting and textile industry. Those governors smiled one by one, and Wen Tianxiang thought of the huge challenges facing Songjiang, and his sense of loss was even stronger. After all these years of work and study, Wen Tianxiang knew that the rise of Songjiang Mansion was entirely due to the local monopoly on cotton cultivation and production. The area of Lianghuai is 100 times that of Songjiang Mansion, and when Lianghuai also begins to produce cotton cloth, the good days of Songjiang Mansion will probably come to an end.

was sentimental, I listened to Sun Qing, the secretary of the household department, say: "Although Lianghuai has such a development opportunity, we must pay attention to the development experience of Songjiang Mansion. All development must be based on a system of state ownership of land. There is no shortage of big landlords in the two Huai, so the officials of the two Huai must be enthusiastic about the situation and not make wrong judgments. ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured down, and the faces of some Lianghuai Zhizhou were not good-looking. The Great Song Dynasty did not prohibit land annexation, so there were many large landowners. These large landowners relied on their own land to accumulate wealth, support their children to study, and formed a Jinshi family, and then became the Jinshi group. This Jinshi group intermarried with each other, supported each other in the struggle, and became intertwined, forming a huge force in the upper echelons.

In such a huge force, Zhao Jiaren once became a well-deserved leader by seizing the South China Sea route and opening up overseas markets. In the end, he ascended to the supreme throne with his merits and origins. However, although these Jinshi families supported Zhao Jiaren to become an official, it did not mean that they were willing to support Zhao Jiaren's land state-ownership policy.

At this time, Zhao Jiaren began to speak, "Everyone. How is my Great Song different from other dynasties, have you ever thought about it? ”

Everyone knew that the Zhao Guan's family was extremely knowledgeable, so they naturally did not dare to show ugliness. And these people know that Zhao Jiaren's speech is just an introduction, and they naturally have his thoughts later. So in a quiet wait, Zhao Jiaren continued: "My Great Song Dynasty is the dynasty that has truly implemented private ownership of land in all dynasties. In the past, although the land was planted by the people, it was planted where, what and how. The harvest is supervised by both the imperial court and the government through the system. The final tax is also determined. From lieutenant chiefs to pavilion chiefs to county commanders, these officials have a complete set of training, among which the best ones can fight, understand logistics, understand management, and can give full play to their abilities in higher positions. However, my Great Song Dynasty is privately owned land, and the state doesn't care what to plant or how to plant. As long as you can collect taxes, it's fine. Of course, these big landlords refused to pay taxes, either because the old party and the gang were desperately defending the interests of the big landlords, or they were all kinds of fallacies and heresies. With the help of the shell of Confucianism, he desperately stuffed all kinds of private goods into it. In the final analysis, it is the fundamental system of the state that has changed, and the appearance has changed. When the land ownership system changes, the derived interests change. ”

The governors here are not given in vain, and those who are given in vain are eliminated. Listening to the truth told by the Zhao Guanjia, the intellectuals from ordinary people looked excited, and many people nodded slightly in agreement. And most of the Zhizhou who were born in Jinshi became ugly.

Wen Tianxiang closed his eyes slightly. He was born as a big landlord in Jiangxi, his family was wealthy, and before the country encountered a crisis of destruction, the talented Wen Tianxiang was too high-eyed, and very few people could be taken by him. Now he has long lost his previous arrogance, so he is particularly touched by Zhao Jiaren's evaluation.

In the eyes of the former big landlords, it was not the court that fed them, but that they were feeding the court. Officials, officials, and petty officials, which one is not eating the offerings of the big landlords. If it weren't for the taxes on the big landowners, the country would have gone bankrupt. Until now, the Zhao official family, who is making an impassioned statement, has appeared, and it has been proved that the court and officials can still survive without the taxes of the big landlords, and they can still live very well. As long as the land is nationalized, the imperial court and the government will go directly to the mud legs who go to the ground......

"Ladies and gentlemen. Those who were once bold should be retro, those who are being bold should maintain the status quo, and those who have not been bold should be innovative. Probably so. Probably! Their so-called retro is to go back to a few years ago that they remember, not Yu Xia Shang Zhou. That's what science is all about. When did science take off? Not the Han and Tang Dynasties, not the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the present dynasty. How did science grow, the weaker the public field, the more prosperous science became. The stronger the private field, the more prosperous the science. The more incompetent the imperial court, the more developed science is! ”

"Well said! You can say that again! With a shout of admiration, some people have already begun to applaud fiercely.

Wen Tianxiang turned his head to look, and saw that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was expressing his approval of Zhao Jiaren with joy on his face. And the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture have already applauded and cheered enthusiastically along with the Ministry of Industry Shangshu. Looking at the officials who came from the Jinshi, some people couldn't help but look at the guys from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture, and more officials from the Jinshi were like dirt. Some even began to tremble.

Retracting his gaze, Wen Tianxiang picked up the teacup and reluctantly took a sip of his moist and dry throat. The bitter tea makes the bitterness even stronger. This Great Song Dynasty champion is very knowledgeable, so he knows that the Zhao official family does not have the slightest lie. It's true. When the truth spread out in broad daylight, Wen Tianxiang and Wen Zhuangyuan felt a huge panic from the heart.
